Abstract:

The future of security in IMS is a future without SMU. But RACF (and equivalent products) offer a much wider range of security functions than IMS's internal security feature ever did. This session will review the security implementations possible when IMS is used with RACF. It will include the general RACF facilities, together with those functions specifically implemented for IMS. Using these features, we'll see that the IMS customer is able to develop a rock-solid security strategy for his IMS systems.
